Cheddar is different to soft cheeses as cheddar is matured at around 15°C and so the cheese will not cause illness or spoil if the temperature rises a little. We recommend that the cheese is refrigerated on receipt of the parcel and kept refrigerated in a sealed container, in cheesepaper or beeswax wrap once opened. We recommend that the cheese is taken out the fridge for 1 hour or more before serving.
Sometimes hairline cracks can form in the wax and on these rare occasions mould can form on your cheese. If this happens or if you are ever concerned that the product is spoilt please contact Customer Services on 01453 297373.
Godminster Vintage Cheddar is suitable for vegetarians
